Red-M(TM), a pioneering developer of Bluetooth Internet access server technology and subsidiary of Madge Networks N.V. (NASDAQ NM: MADGF), today announces that it has become an official member of the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) Forum.
The industry group is dedicated to developing the WAP standard, an open and global specification allowing wireless devices to instantly interact and access Web based information and services.
Red-M is developing Bluetooth access server products that are set to revolutionize mobile communications in the workplace. The company's products will provide mobile access to the Internet, Intranet and data, voice and video services from a wide range of devices. Red-M will bring to the WAP Forum its substantial knowledge of Bluetooth technology, the emergent short-range wireless technology, helping the WAP Forum to develop its competencies in this area.
Scott Goldmann, CEO of the WAP Forum comments, "The goal of the WAP Forum is to bring together companies from all segments of the wireless industry to ensure product interoperability and growth of the wireless market. We are pleased to welcome Red-M, a company that is a real pioneer in the development of Bluetooth products. Red-M will enhance and broaden the expertise of the WAP Forum, ultimately benefiting end users."
Simon Gawne, VP of Marketing and Business Development at Red-M, says, "We are delighted to be a member of the WAP Forum and an active contributor to the development of this advanced technology. Up until now, WAP has been largely regarded as a consumer-oriented technology. Running WAP applications over a Bluetooth network will allow faster, easier and in many cases lower cost access to clear information on mobile devices. This will undoubtedly help transform WAP into a viable business tool."
The first products from Red-M are due by the end of this year.
